“#Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” Wasn’t Submitted for Grammys 2021”
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” was not submitted for 2021 Grammy Awards consideration, Pitchfork has learned. The song will reportedly instead be submitted next year as part of Cardi’s forthcoming album campaign. That album has not yet been announced.
Submissions for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards had to be released between September 1, 2019 and August 31, 2020. Released on August 7, “WAP” still fell within the eligibility window. “WAP” was Cardi B’s first single as a lead artist since last year’s “Press” and set a new record for the biggest streaming debut week of all time. Meg followed it with the Young Thug collaboration “Don’t Stop” at the beginning of October.
